  • A Pluralist Account of Epistemic Agency, Injustice, & Repair

    Prof. Amandine Catala, University of Quebec in Montreal 

    Recent accounts of epistemic agency and injustice have shown that both notions are greatly enriched and more accurately construed when they are taken to include not only propositional knowledge (knowing-that) but also experiential knowledge, including practical knowledge (knowing-how) and tacit, embodied, and affective knowledge (knowing what-it’s-like). What can such a pluralist account tell us about epistemic repair?

  • “Where the tree ends and your head begins” – Listening to Gloria Anzaldúa’s Multi-Species Meditations

    This practice-based activity is open to anyone on campus, but especially those interested in thinking about ecology beyond traditional Western disciplinary lenses. We will use drawings and sound to consider the boundaries between more-than-human nature and embodied experience that Gloria Anzaldúa set out in her mediations, which proposed a feminist approach to the spaces and places at the U.S-Mexico border.
